22nd May 2018 IEEE 5G Summit Brasilisa 5G Broadcast Use Cases and their Impact on Society and Citizens Dr Belkacem Mouhouche Samsung Electronics R&D UK
5G - Overview 5G is at peak research and standardization activity. After half a decase of research, the first 5G standards are starting to be released covering different use cases We will explain these main trends Designed to meet very challenging technical requirements: Data Rate 20 Gbit/s (user 100 Mbit/s) Mobility 500 km/h Connection density 10 6 devices / km 2 Latency 1 ms Spectrum efficiency 3x 2
IMT 2020 vision requirements Enhanced mobile broadband Peak data rate High importance Medium User experienced data rate Area traffic capacity Low Spectrum efficiency Network energy efficiency Massive machine type communications Connection density Latency Mobility Ultra-reliable and low latency communications M.2083-04 Different KPIs weight depending on the use cases. 3
5G - Point to Multipoint Overview Historically, point to multipoint transmissions have been the first mean of information and entertainment to a large number of citizens. Radio then Television where the only live information and entertainment means. Even today, Broadcast remains the most useful mean to address a large population in an efficient way. 4
5G - Linear TV/Media Seniors still use linear TV as main source of information and entertainment Linear Terrestrial TV is losing spectrum (digital dividend), but needs to be replaced Unlike the younger generation, senior people will likely use linear TV in any form rather than streaming and gaming. Cellular TV can be a very good alternative 5
5G - Public Warning Systems Public warning systems represents an efficient way to inform the population of a disaster Emergency alerts can be also sent in case of a missing child The best and efficient way to transmit these information is to use broadcast (no cell attach, no counting, etc) PUBLIC WARNING AND SAFETY Public Warning Systems Tsunami Alert 6
5G -IOT Internet of things will drive the next wave of growth in connected devices The number of connected devices will reach 30 billion by 2020. Software updates can be carried out in a very efficient way by using broadcast especially during hours where the network is not at peak use. INTERNET OF THINGS Software Updates Common Control Messages 7
5G - Broadcast in 3GPP before 5G Broadcast (MBMS) was considered in 3GPP as soon as Rel 6 for UMTS When LTE standardization started in Release 8, the evolved version of MBMS (embms) was still part of the standard for Rel 8 embms continued to evolved with all LTE releases until release 14 with features such Single Cell Point to Multipoint (SC-PTM) and Enhancd TV (EnTV) The main drawback of all these releases in that broadcast was always an add on features with limitations 8
5G - Where are we? 5G Release-15 was first completed by 3GPP in December 2017. 3GPP plan and 5GPPP coordination: 3GPP Rel-14 5G Winter Olympics FIFA World Cup Summer Olympics UEFA EURO 3GPP Rel-15 EC FP7 Pre-5G 3GPP Rel-16 5GPPP Set-up 5GPPP Phase 1 5GPPP Phase 2 5GPPP Phase 3 Experiments We are here!

The Role of Broadcast in 5G Innovative 5G use cases require broadcast transmissions! Broadcast allows an infinite number of users to receive the same content at the same time, using just a fixed number of resources. Big potential in convergence of fixed and mobile broadband networks for large-scale media delivery. Point to multipoint as a delivery optimization tool, rather than a service. Broadcasters interest in 3GPP technologies has increased recently. 4G LTE Rel-14 has incorporated many requirements, but suffers from the embms legacy. 10
The Role of Broadcast in 5G Broadcast is a very powerful technique to address a large number of users. Broadcast has a tendency to lag MBB in research and standards because the first use case addresses is usually high throughput broadband. We expect Broadcast to be addressed in release 16 or release 17 of 3GPP. Currently there is an initiative to introduce a broadcast Study Item to 3GPP that will be discussed in June plenary. 11
Technical Analysis - 5G New Radio 5G New Radio: It is also necessary to evaluate the 5G Rel-15 unicast specification from 3GPP to propose the future 5G broadcast solution. Considering use cases already defined. From 3 different perspectives: o Air interface & RAN o Core network o Content delivery 5G New Radio Performance in AWGN (SISO) 12
